[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hong Jae-hee] A woman suffered burns all over her body in an arson fire suspected to be caused by domestic discord at a villa in Wansan-gu, Jeonju-si, Jeollabuk-do.

According to Wansan Fire Station on the 17th, a fire suspected to be arson occurred around 4 p.m. at a four-story villa in Junghwasan-dong, Wansan-gu, where a female tenant, Ms. A, was found with burns.

Ms. A suffered second-degree burns all over her body and was airlifted by a doctor helicopter. The fire caused partial damage to a dining table and chairs, with the fire station estimating the damage at about 26,000 KRW.

The police and fire authorities responded to a report at 1:41 p.m. that day about a person armed with a weapon. Given that hazardous liquid substances were found inside the house, the fire is presumed to have been caused by domestic discord.

When the paramedics arrived, residents had already extinguished the fire themselves. The police and fire authorities are investigating the exact cause of the fire.
